G. L. Pease: Charing Cross 8oz Pipe Tobacco
Product Number: 003-029-0031
Charing Cross from G. L. Pease is a traditional Balkan style blend of fine Virginia leaf, richly seasoned with smoky Cyprian Latakia, and spiced with the exquisite and exotic tobaccos of the orient. This is the one for Latakia lovers. Hints of roasted cocoa beans, orange zest, green pepper and campfires. This is the big one - fuller than Blackpoint, and a little less sweet.

Good flavors, too much humectant
October 23, 2024
Product: G. L. Pease Charing Cross 2oz
rible idea, at least in my humble opinion. It changes all the characteristics of the leaf: the way it ages, the way it packs, the way it burns, the way it tastes, and the way it smells both in the tin and in the bowl. I hate it that all the big production companies are doing this now. It seems the last holdouts still doing traditional packing in most of their stuff (for now) are Rattrays, Peterson, and both Gawith companies- thank God for European purity laws. Even McConnell has gone the synthetic humectant route, and Mac Baren has been bad for a while. I'm so disappointed. I have a whole cellar of 3-5 year tins I've been waiting to enjoy, pounds and pounds, and it's looking like at least half will be nasty because someone thought glycols were a good idea. What a waste. This is so depressing. I could almost give up pipe smoking over this. I'm giving serious consideration to never buying production brands again. This really upsets me....Read More
True Balkan

erve as the base and provide support from background. Smoke is very soft and almost creamy. Everything in balance and without doubt work exactly as master blender intended.
Problem lies with me. Going through different oriental blends I noticed that I usually enjoy interplay between Virginias and Orientals as a front stage contrary to lone Orientals taking that place. In this particular blend Orientals rule the ball. My palate demands more interplay with red/dark Virginias and more sweetness.
Therefore even though it is truly a great blend it is not my blend. May buy it again once in the blue moon when in the mood for the true Oriental Balkan....Read More

oth dancing over the toasty base of Virginia. This blend isnt balanced because instead of becoming muddled, each component has its time to shine in the symphony. Excellent tobacco....Read More

on and Odyssey. The Balkan is my favorite style of blend. I've tried all the Balkans I can get my hands on, Arango, Sutliff, Peterson, Hearth and Home, Cornell and Diehl, Sobranie, Sasieni, Bill Bailey's blend, and Joe Lankford's. Mr. Pease's blends rank above them all in my opinion. I don't know how G.L. Pease maintains such perfection, but I thank my lucky stars that he and his brand do. A God amongst us pipe-smoking mortals....Read More

o with it.
Anyways, I’m supposed to be talking about Charing Cross.
I bought an 8oz tin of this stuff and it struck me as an English blend for a man’s man. I cellared two jars of the stuff back in 2014 and just recently cracked one back open.
This reminds of GL Pease’s Odyssey but more oriental forward. Like makes your mouth tingle level of orientals.
I don’t enjoy Latakia like I did as a novice pipe smoker, but when the mood takes me, I load this up on my biggest stoutest pipe a float off to Neverland....Read More

to full and consistent, with complex notes of very spicy, very musty dry earth, herbal spice, very woody, sour citrus, smokey, floral, bread, tangy dark fruit, a sweet grassy background note, and a peppery retro. Oriental/Turkish is leading with Virginias supporting a little more than Latakia. Room note is tolerable, and aftertaste is great....Read More

akia is very fresh, and a few years of age might soften that. Still tire easily of the dominant , heavy smoke character of the Latakia used in these blends. Tin age was 6 months....Read More

This is the reason I lean towards English blends. From light up to final puff, C.C. delivers. Great English. Great Blend. Great smoke.
Just don't get it.
